Throw away all the oil money race tracks and have multiple races here

[–] SuperIce 5 points 10 months ago

Probably my favorite race of the year, even though it was only a sprint. That brings my hopes up for tomorrow's race a lot.

[–] DV8 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Alpha Tauri looking good for the real race tomorrow.

[–] alphacyberranger 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Max and Lando went into the sunset

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

What an absolute stonker of a race! Possibly the best sprint this year. Hopefully the main race is also this entertaining!

Hats off to the direction and F1tv commentary!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This sprint race might be the best of any race this season so far. So much going on.

[–] calamitycastle 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Is this what happens when you take 'managing' down in importance?

He somehow managed to keep the same pace as LeClerc and pull away from Sainz. And the AT's tire degradation is clearly better than Ferrari's. He was a few tenths faster than LeClerc in the last couple of laps. Another 3 laps and he would've been ahead.

[–] lazycouchpotato 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Pretty exciting so far. Lots of close racing and overtaking.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Absolutely! Even before DRS there was a ton of action.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

OK, that was a sick pass of Perez by Hamilton. Goddamn.

Perez better pick it up.

[–] alphacyberranger 5 points 10 months ago

Now this is pretty exciting

[–] alphacyberranger 4 points 10 months ago

What a race

[–] lazycouchpotato 3 points 10 months ago

What a fantastic sprint. Just pure, clean racing. Hope to have more of them in the future.

[–] DV8 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I'm liking that Checo is proving on track that he can be the best number 2. Vamos Checo!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

He was closest to his team mate?

I agree he put in a strong race, but I suspect his goose is cooked at this point. It's surely too late when you've got Ric, Law and Tsu all waiting eagerly in the wings.

[–] DV8 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

If he can consistently finish 2-4 and qualify better, he can help play pit games. That's all that's needed to keep his spot. I don't think Tsunoda or Lawson are safe choices so he'd need to do many mistakes like in Mexico before that could become real imho.

Am I crazy or is it way too advantageous to start second? Verstappen had the best line...

[–] espentan 5 points 10 months ago

This isn't a bad place to start second, but Max had a bit better start and Lando was perhaps a bit too cautious with breaks going into the first corner.

[–] DV8 3 points 10 months ago

Some tracks are like that, but I suppose we'll see what happens in the real race tomorrow. Though this practice/sprint race tends to ruin any surprises.

[–] JJROKCZ 2 points 10 months ago

Some tracks are like that, first isn’t always best unless you have the acceleration speed to keep ahead

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I always love those shots from the front where a car appears from another one to make a pass. Like what we just saw with Perez on Russell. Very cinematic.

[–] espentan 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Danny only .3 behind Sainz..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

He passed up Sainz! He passed up a Ferrari!

Then he lost the spot back to Sainz due to DRS, but still, that it happened at all!

[–] alphacyberranger 2 points 10 months ago

I love this track

[–] alphacyberranger 2 points 10 months ago

[–] Motecuhzoma 2 points 10 months ago

Hamilton’s pace is gone

[–] espentan 2 points 10 months ago

Perez dropping back from Lando? Used up his tires working his way forwards, maybe..

[–] alphacyberranger 2 points 10 months ago

Eat that ocon

[–] lazycouchpotato 2 points 10 months ago

Oof Lando dropped 2 places. Doesn't look like he tried to push hard on that first corner.

Perez down 2 places as well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

That was already entertaining before DRS was enabled.
